Welp, I played the Japanese versions of Blue and Yellow lately, and I learned a couple of interesting differences from the international games.
First off, JP Blue still has Red and Green's obnoxious Thunderbolt animation, but Yellow uses the toned-down version. That tells me Thunderbolt was specifically toned down in the international releases of Red and Blue. Confusion and Psychic's animations were also apparently sped up a bit in those versions.
Also, you know how Yellow on the Game Boy Color has multiple color palettes for different locations and Pokémon? Not so for JP Yellow - it uses one yellow-and-red color palette for the whole game, clearly taken from Pikachu's body and cheeks. I gotta be honest, I really don't like how it looks, especially on certain 'mons.
